Laili is the BEST restaurant in Santa Cruz! My sister will be 83 tomorrow, and I wanted to take here out for a special lunch. Of course, I chose Laili and was not disappointed!! We had two different waiters, as one was going off duty. Both young men were friendly, helpful and had good senses of humor. (I'll admit, we had fun laughing with them!) The garden setting in the patio was even more luscious than usual, with fresh tropical plants recently added. The marinated beet, arugula and feta salad was one of the best salads I've ever had! The main course of lamb kebobs, 3 sauces, delicious white rice and arugula was very good, as always. My only sliight pickiness was that the lamb seemed a bit over-cooked, but that may just be my taste. Otherwise, it was all perfect. We enjoyed the special ginger ale drinks. To top it all off, here came a chocolate cake topped with fresh raspberries for my sister's birthday dessert, complete with a tiny candle, which she blew out. Fortunately, she shared the dessert with me!

Everything tasted fantastic, and the wine selection was great for Mother’s Day.
